The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yan Bugui woke up, but thankfully, he pretended to still be a little dizzy.

Captain Yang had seen many people who pretended to faint to avoid detection.

They didn't indulge him at all, and didn't suggest that Yang Dalin bring a chair or anything for Yan Bugui to sit down.

Yang Dalin then recounted the whole story to Captain Yang.

Finally, Yang Dalin said, "Captain Yang, you personally arrested those three people yesterday, right? I don't know why the families of these three criminals came to my house today. Is it related to someone else, or did they deliberately leak my home address?"

The second one is Yan Bugui, the third liaison officer in our compound. Yan Bugui moved all the gifts that the three families had prepared to plead for leniency to his own home, and even said that he would guarantee that our family would write a letter of understanding.

Captain Yang, I have a question. In a criminal case involving armed robbery and attempted murder, although the attempt failed, I managed to escape because I reacted quickly. Is it possible to issue a letter of understanding and reach a settlement in such a case?

And this woman, I don't know whose sister she is, she said that if we don't issue a letter of forgiveness and don't let her brother go, she'll kill me.

I don't know what organization they belong to. How is this any different from the bullies of the old society who used their power to oppress others?

Are we just ordinary people being bullied like this?

Third, the families of the three criminals blocked our house this afternoon, forcing us to issue a letter of understanding. I had to come back with a rolling pin to get them to leave.

"If someone breaks into someone else's house without permission, can I kill them and get away with it?"

The families of the criminals became very anxious upon hearing this.

"Comrade Xiao Yang, we didn't do that. We didn't force you. We knocked before we came in."

"Yes, Comrade Yang, we are here to seek reconciliation, we have not coerced your family members without our consent."

"Comrade Yang, please have pity on us, you two. We only have one son."

He's still young and doesn't understand, so please be magnanimous and let him off the hook.

Captain Yang heard that things had gotten chaotic again, with a lot of noise and confusion around him.

Standing on the steps in front of Yang Dalin's house, he suddenly shouted, "Shut up! Stop shouting! Everyone, listen to me!"

I handled this matter. I also personally arrested those three people yesterday. They were guilty of armed robbery and attempted murder. The facts are clear.

It is indeed a criminal case, and there is no need for reconciliation or mediation.

Two of the three are already eighteen years old, and one is about to turn eighteen; they are no longer children.

Once you're an adult, you should take responsibility for the consequences of your actions.

Comrade Xiao Yang is right; no one can force the victim's family to issue a settlement agreement.

If it's just a minor squabble, and both parties agree to settle it privately without causing any harm, then a settlement will be allowed.

Yesterday, those three people robbed me of more than twenty yuan. One of them even tried to stab Comrade Yang with a dagger, aiming for his vital organs. This is not something that can be resolved privately and thus avoid punishment.

This constitutes a crime, and even if you reach a settlement, the public security authorities will still pursue their criminal liability.

The three of you have come to the Qi family without authorization to force the victim's family to write a letter of understanding, which is suspected of being illegal. You will all come back to the station with me in a moment.

Xiao Lu, take a member of the Yan family to the home of this liaison officer, Yan Bugui.

Take out all the gifts he received.

When confronted by them, Liaison Officer Yan claimed that his relative had given it to him.

Let's check if the items are correct, and don't accuse us of being careless or wrongly accusing him.

Old Yan realized he couldn't argue anymore, and he collapsed to the ground, regretting his actions. How could he have been so blinded by greed?

Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "Captain Yang, Captain Yang, I am also the liaison officer of our institute. My name is Yi Zhonghai. Can we resolve this in our institute?"

"It wasn't a big deal, Dalin, right? If there's anything, let's resolve it here in our courtyard. Otherwise, we might lose our title as the best courtyard house."

Yi Zhonghai clearly wanted to cover it up, plead for Yan Bugui, and even try to involve everyone in the hospital.

Unfortunately, Captain Yang didn't give him a chance: "Master Yi, the teacher openly accepted bribes. This is no small matter, and it can't be resolved in your yard."

Yan Bugui also wants to come back with us to conduct an investigation.

I understand how you feel, but please don't interfere with our official business.

Xiao Lu quickly found a large bag of things in Yan's house.

Yan Jiecheng was with them when they entered the Yan family's house; it wasn't just two policemen going in alone.

Captain Yang ordered Xiao Lu to confront the people who had given him the gifts on the spot.

Four bottles of Xifeng liquor, two cartons of Daqianmen liquor, and thirty jin of grain coupons.

Two catties of pastries, two catties of eggs, and two catties of salted meat.

Twenty catties of wheat flour and thirty catties of cornmeal.

This is truly a generous gift.

In fact, these three families also knew the importance of asking for favors, and the gifts they contributed were quite generous.

They managed to gather eight more items, which would be worth a couple hundred yuan on the black market.

I never expected things to turn out this way.

In fact, they had also prepared other compensation and a bicycle transfer agreement.

It just wasn't taken out yet.

He was stopped by Yan Bugui, who was guarding the hanging flower gate, as soon as he entered, and then they went outside to talk.

As a result, all the items were delivered to the Yan family first.

Yan Bugui assured him that he would come and discuss the matter later.

But before I could even open my mouth, Yang Dalin came back.

Moreover, Yang Dalin didn't give Yan Bugui any face at all.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong looked at those items and knew how valuable they were.

He couldn't even open his mouth anymore.

If you say it's just two bottles of wine and a few packs of cigarettes, then forget it.

Yi Zhonghai felt that since there was little to offer, pleading with Yan Laokou wouldn't make him look too bad.

The key question is: what is the price of grain now that there is so much of it?

If these items sell well, they could fetch more than two hundred.

People came to plead for the child's sake, which is understandable. But you, Yan Bugui, didn't bring the things to the Qi family and prepared to die on your own. Damn it, you deserve it. Let it be destroyed, I can't control you.

The amount is too large.

The items were all correct. Captain Yang remembered that Yang Dalin had asked him who had leaked their home address.

He planned to take everyone back and question them thoroughly.

Although Li Jianjun's father has some power, if you really want to plead for leniency, can't you do it quietly and discuss it properly with him? Why bring in an outsider?

Now they're even planning to keep your things for themselves and not give them to anyone else.

That's just plain stupid.

Captain Yang left with the families of the three criminals, and Yan Bugui and Yan Jiefang were also taken away.

Yang Ruihua, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi were left behind, and the family hugged each other and wept bitterly.

After watching the commotion, those who were supposed to go home went home, while those who were close to the Qi family even came to comfort Qi Yulan and Yang Dalin.

The Yan family's reputation has been ruined this time.

Nobody paid any attention to them.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yang Dalin, intending to say something.

Yang Dalin spread his hands and spoke first, anticipating what Yi Zhonghai wanted to say: "Uncle, first of all, I didn't call the police, and secondly, I didn't know Yan Bugui dared to intercept so many things; I didn't even see them."

These words directly stung Yi Zhonghai. Yes, the other party hadn't called the police and didn't know so much, yet Yan Bugui had brought outsiders to try and force them to write a settlement agreement.

If I were to plead for Yan Bugui now, I'd probably offend everyone in the courtyard.

It's not worth it for an old man whose reputation has already been damaged.
